Sticks and Stones

So many souls have now lost their way.
They search for the answer but their ego will stay.
They slowly regroup and gather up stones.
So many glass houses divided by zones.

Grown men and women partake in such shame.
Pointing a finger and casting out blame.
Look at yourself down deep from within.
Is this how you want your end to begin?

Self-reflection and hate, oil and water.
Is this an example for your son or your daughter?
It’s time now to think, you reap what you sow.
Do you want to keep casting these sticks and these stones?

This is a world made up of all kinds of people. They have choices they were blessed with whether good of evil. It's up to them to listen to their inner soul if they have one, but because of ignorance of bad modeling then they need a seed whispered in their ear, either by their inner conscious or another human being. I know of a few that ignorance runs them because of bad modeling then come to find out it was wrong then encourage to do right.
